In these days of so much un certainty, it is comforting and ful to have a quiet, confiden suraiue “ttylt all things work to gether for good to them that love God, to them that are the called ac cording to His purpose." But how do we know? Because God’s word says so, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and He de- lighteth in his way.’ Because of the experience of ethers: Joseph said to his brothers, “But as for you, ye thpught evil against me; but God meant it for good.” Jacob said, “All these things are against me,” when they were working to put Joseph in a position to become the world’s saviour materially preserve hte whole family, and make way for the com ing of the world’s Saviour spiritual ly.

No partiality was shown in mak ing up the lists of the guests who hou'.d attend the fete. The invita tion was general; all the citizens of the neighborhood und of the adjoin ing counties were invi ed to join the festivities for the price of six dol lars. The ladies, however entered free. The guests gathered in the Representative Chamber of the old capitol. Each man wore a La v ayette badge and a white rose, the general’s own national flower. Supper was served in the senate chamber at ten o’clock. The tall candlslabra shed a soft glow upon the festive board, and found an answering glow within the hearts of these Southerners.
